Peace after Combat: Healing the Spiritual and Psychological Wounds of War

by Tiffany Tajiri, John Wayne Troxell (Foreword)

It could be your neighbor, your coworker, your son, or the woman sitting next to you in church. When combat veterans return from war, they’re often confused. They struggle to reconnect with their families; the cheering crowds and smothering hugs make them want to jump out of their skin; and sometimes they even long to return to the hell of deployment.   What they’ve experienced in combat can radically change how they view themselves, others, and the world at large. They may have never seen so much hurt, suffering, death, and destruction, which leaves them questioning, “Where is God?”   Dr. Tiffany Tajiri, a veteran USAF officer and board-certified clinical psychologist, has been in countless sessions with combat veterans and their loved ones and now shares powerful first-hand accounts, lessons, proven exercises, and biblical truth. Whether experiencing combat directly as a veteran or wanting to help bring healing as a family member, pastor, chaplain, or counselor, this book is essential. The emotional, psychological, and spiritual healing encountered applies to anyone facing harsh realities and uncomfortable questions and hoping to find peace again.

War veterans healing

A healing and therapy book for war veterans. The anxiety and stress could come from many types. The author help us understand these knots. The author argue that Warrior: Don’t keep your family in the dark. They’re not as fragile as you think. Family: Don’t let the Enemy establish a war zone in your home.

Healing does occur for combat people

I chose this book to learn more about coming home from combat. The author gave me a theological framework to reflect upon and to incorporate into my conversations with people home from combat. The composites that she provides sound real, address different kinds of combat experiences, and relationships back home. I recommend the book.
